EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1942, showcases the installation of auxiliary fuel tanks on both a fighter and a bomber aircraft. During the Second World War, increasing the range of military aircraft was essential for successful long-range air attacks. Auxiliary fuel tanks, also known as drop tanks or wing tanks, provided additional fuel capacity, extending the distance these vital machines could fly. The image, taken by renowned photographer G. H. Davis, illustrates the meticulous process of fitting these tanks to the wings of fighter and bomber aircraft. The fighter, with its sleek design and powerful engine, is a testament to the advanced technology of the time. The bomber, with its bulky form and multiple engines, highlights the importance of fuel efficiency in executing long-range missions. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the pivotal role auxiliary fuel tanks played in the success of air campaigns during the Second World War.
